I mean one of the main functions of Reddit is link aggregation. People can literally just copy links from Reddit and paste them here. It’s not really a creativity problem yet.

Well they mention Github artifacts in that message so it sounds like it’s more like they may have obtained source code and that sort of non public stuff.

Usually what happens is that these sorts of blackmailers will leak small, verifiable pieces of data so people know they really got something. We don’t see that here, so for now there’s no reason to take them seriously yet.

This isn’t ransomware. This is standard blackmail.

It took me a while to accept cloud storage but I use it now. I backed up all of our family photos on Google photos.

People who are afraid vote for someone they perceive as strong. Thus you’ll see that right-wing media and politicians are constantly trying to instill fear in people. They want their voters to think that their way of life is under attack and there are enemies everywhere. The only one they can count on is their fearless leader to save them!

I’ve been a professional software engineer in the game industry for 22 years now. I started off in school at first on Apple computers with Basic, then when I got a graphing calculator in school I started writing tools for school work and games on it all the time. After college, I wasn’t sure what sort of software I wanted to work on (dot-com era), but one of my good friends talked me into applying to some game companies. I’ve been in a bunch of different companies since then but right now I’m working on online systems for one of the biggest online games.
